Roland Chandler: Outside Readings: Frank Bergon's "Wilderness Aesthetics"

In Wilderness Aesthetics, Frank Bergon discusses the nature of journey through wilderness in appreciation of the voyage itself through nature. He uses Lewis and Clark as an example, which is very relevant because their journey was more important than their actual goal in the end. He discusses the crucial nature of documentation, expression, and reflection upon our journeys, praising Lewis and Clark as great documenters and writers. This helps to retain the spiritual experience and to draw upon it and learn from it when the beauty and experience of the actual moment has passed.
